Please open back up. I want to buy your product. Don't make me wait too long please.

What's the rush? Are there any stores accepting it?

The rush is to accommodate my impatience! Tongue

I want to see this project up on its feet feeding the community the progress that we desire.
If I owned a business I would accept bitbills. I will do so for any personal trades as well.

I personally think this is a really good idea people are always worried about keeping their BTC secure now with this you can have a tangible copy that will keep it secure for a while.Now you can lock it in a safe I mean come on what ordinary person is going to want to steal your bitbill Roll Eyes

Check it out, after months of effort I'm proud to announce I've released my new bitcoin product: Bitbills!

www.bitbills.com

Bitbills are the first physical incarnation of bitcoins, and I'm selling them starting now! Let me know what you guys think, and if you have any questions or comments!

Love your guys' design

very interesting! One question: is your business ran by a registered company and out of where?

Thanks
Roberto

I was on the order page, and quickly decided against purchasing when I saw the shipping charges. I'm sorry, but $3.50 (.25 BTC) for shipping is insane for something that fits inside an envelope. Take the .25 BTC shipping + .15 BTC Fee for the 1 BTC card, and it just fundamentally does not make sense unless you go up to the larger amounts like 20 BTC card. This is after slashing your fees in half?

Outside of that, it is a good idea, and one I would like to own. However, you are acting just like the ebay sellers and infomercial producers, who inflate shipping prices in hopes that people won't notice.

How about you print a bit bill of equal quality, ship it better for less money, and we'll all order from you? How much are you asking for them? What are you charging for shipping? What is your estimated delivery time? I'll go 1.125 BTC for a 1 BTC bitbill.

You need to change your font color, it's really difficult to read against that background.

$3.50 is totally fair for shipping, plus confirmation and packing. trust me, no money is made from shipping at all.

He's got a 3 month backorder... I doubt he's concerned about overpricing them at this point.

Besides, shipping always includes handling time and shipping materials, both of which cost time and money. If you just charge actual shipping, you will lose money on the shipping part of things. A company will ALWAYS inflate shipping beyond what it actually costs for the postage.

I am absolutely fascinated by BitBills and would love to use them in everyday expenses.

This idea though about requiring even MORE confirmations/etc from private servers owned by BitBills seems like it's learning ever so farther into the 'centralized' area of currency. Aren't we supposed to be watching out for that?

It would be optional of course. Any site could set up this service. Once the BTC in on the bill, to use it, you have to manually import using command line. This is only a web form that does the work for you and sends it to a bitcoin address you own.

I really like your Bitbills. Sorry if this has been discussed as I haven't read the entire thread but it would be really neat if you make it easier to cash out the Bitbills.

You could:
-make a https page where the user fills in: private key, address, and a "redeem and send it to" address
-your bitcoin daemon imports that key, and you resend it to yourself at an address only you own
-once you get confirmations and the balance you send it all to the new address the user filled in

It would make your bills easier to redeem as many can't use the command line tool to do it! Could make your Bitbills more popular! I know you'd probably have to add a small fee to cover tx fees but I bet many would like to use it for its simplicity. I bet even other people who make their own private keys would probably even use your tool.

Side note: Any chance you might start producing "undenominated" BitBills too? Ones that come with no coins sent to the address, which the owner loads himself (as much as he wants, as often as he wants)? Might even be labelled a "Savings BitBill" or "User-Loaded BitBill" or something so as not to be confused with pre-loaded BitBills. I'd personally buy a few of those as well. Wink

THIS, is a fantastic idea. Seriously.

Although one can do this on its own, I would like to have a piggy bank bitbill too.
